Perianes records exclusively for harmonia mundi. His diverse discography ranging from Beethoven, Schubert, Debussy, Chopin, and Mendelssohn to Turina, Granados, Mompou, Falla and Blasco de Nebra has earned acclaim from press and public alike. His Grieg’s Piano Concerto and a selection of Lyric Pieces was described as “a new benchmark” by Classica, which awarded it a ‘Choc’; it was also Editor’s Choice in Gramophone and Maestro in Pianiste magazine. Perianes’ recording of Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain and selected solo works received a Latin Grammy Nomination. Demonstrating “a true lyrical gift” (Gramophone), his most recent album with the label was Schubert’s Sonata in B flat major, D.960 and Sonata in A major D.664, and his next release will be in Spring 2018 with his recording of Bartók’s Piano Concerto No.3 with Münchner Philharmoniker and Pablo Heras-Casado.
